I've never been a huge fan of visual novels but this one is AMAZING! I loved the storyline and the plot twist just made it even better. The charecters and their sprites are also great. You can easily sympathize with Grace and even Anna after knowing what happened to her, wich makes it difficult to make those 2 choices at the end.
Speaking about choices, I felt like there could be more of them besides those 2 at the end so you would be able to interact more with the story, but that's fine. I did all 4 different endings and they were realy good.
The only thing that bothered me was Grace's "secret" about her family and the fact that the game simply doesn't tell you what is it. Also, after she tells Jack about it, that's never even mentioned again wich means that it wouldn't make much a difference if it wasn't there in the first place, so it I fells like it was kind of a waste. But everything besides that is pretty much perfect.
Kill or Love is a great VN and I strongly recommend it.
I'm glad you liked it! Regarding the thing that bothered you: it is never stated explicitly, but there are clues in the story of what the "secret" is. To me it felt more interesting and more tasteful to leave it at that. And although it isn't mentioned overtly later on, it does influence Grace's actions significantly.
Yeah, I did realize some of those clues about her past but it was still kind of unclear to me. Don't get me wrong, having those clues scattered around and influencing her actions did make it interesting to theorize about what could be that secret. To be honest, what bothered me in particular was the fact of her telling Jack about it and then the game simply "hiding" it from you... maybe the real issue was just my own curiosity.
I also felt like it could be more interesting if the story developed more about that "secret" as it would make you sympathize even more with Grace, but that's just an idea of mine. She's a great character overall.
I felt I could add my own little twist to the yandere archetype, specifically regarding characters' motivation. Another reason I made it was to see how well my writing would be received by a wider audience, since before this I'd only shown it to my friends.
I think she was molested by a family member or something like that. The reason she approached Jack in the first place and started talking to him was because she thought he didn't look like the type of guy to use someone. Also, after Grace tells Jack about what happened, Jack asks in exasperation if there's anything they could do about it. If it were a death or something like that he would have offered his condolences, as nothing could possibly be done about that. But him asking if there was anything to be done would be EXACTLY what I would say to someone who was... Well. Yeah...
Anyway. I really liked this VN Andy!!!!!!! Is there another one coming out anytime soon?
Holy crap. This is one of the greatest visual novel I've ever played. The storyline is amazing, and the plot twist is just..Perfect honestly. I love it! This is such a great game. But one question..Are you gonna make another VN? ^^
Loved your VN and I knew that it would take me longer than your 2 hour estimated playing time as I read these visual novels out loud when I livestream them. I went over all four endings and gave my final thoughts as well. (Spoiler Alerts) I highly recommend playing this great VN yourself!
Great first VN to the developer Andy Church!
You can find my livestream done on Twitch re-uploaded to my Youtube channel in it's nearly 5 hour long entirety HERE:
I usually get bored of visual novels pretty quickly but this game is so investing that I couldn't stop playing, The story is incredible and even when you think you might know where the story will go next you really don't, I very strongly reccommend this game, it's the perfect blend of everything! Amazing experience

I hope it makes more sense to you now

Just by curiosity, what inspired you to make this VN ?

Turns out it was a great idea. I hope you keep up with your great work!
